Arteta fumes over refereeing decisions in title race as Arsenal beat Newcastle

Mikel Arteta has criticized referee decisions in Arsenal's last two games, claiming Manchester City's Abdukodir Khusanov should have been sent off for a last-man foul on Kai Havertz in last Sunday's 2-1 City win, and Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope should have been dismissed for a foul on Viktor Gyökeres in Saturday's 1-0 Arsenal victory. Arteta insisted both incidents were clear red cards and that these decisions have affected the title race, with Arsenal now three points behind City having played an extra match.
